Description

This level 3 product includes ocean color and satellite ocean biology data produced or collected under EOSDIS.

This dataset may be used for studying the biology and hydrology of coastal zones, changes in the diversity and geographical distribution of coastal marine habitats, biogeochemical fluxes and their influence in Earth's oceans and climate over time, and finally the impact of climate and environmental variability and change on ocean ecosystems and the biodiversity they support.

Scale factor and offset are already applied.
